We had such a great time with the white elephant gift exchange last year -
so we are doing it again. If you missed the fun last year, be sure to
attend the December social night.

Please note a few changes from our typical social night events.

Date: Saturday, December 5th - Note that we are having this on a Saturday
evening.

Time: 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm - Note time change - kids must be picked up no later
than 9:45 so the building can be set up for Sunday services. We are starting
the evening 30 minutes earlier than usual.

All participants must be TEACH members - 7th - 12th grade - with a signed
code of conduct on file. If you have not turned your form in, please
contact Mrs. Bachert - 841-6308 or Mrs. Gaskin - 830-0377.

What to bring: 2 liter bottle of pop, a snack to share, and a white elephant
gift - wrapped nicely :o) You do not want the item to be identifiable, so
wrap it well.

We will play a game with the gifts, do not share what you have brought with
the others when you arrive. We had a nice variety of items brought last
year. You do not need to go out and purchase a gift for this party. Many
kids brought items that they had at home and didn't want anymore. "Gifts"
can be purchased from the dollar or thrift stores.

White elephant gift items can be useful or just fun - be creative.

A prize will be awarded for the best wrapped gift and one will be awarded
for the most creative or "best" gift given.
